Form & Verdict
Off the mark on second handicap start, when returned to 7f on Chelmsford AW, but she couldn't hack it on turf next time and her recent seventh at Wolverhampton (about 1m; first-time visor, discarded) was no better; her golden pedigree suggests she is worth a go over this extra distance, though.

Form & Verdict
Useful efforts in defeat at about 1m on turf and AW since winning on handicap debut here (1m) in November; no frills about his handicap mark, but there's enough stamina on the dam's side of pedigree to think he could find more for this new trip and yard continues in great form.

Dogged display to lead close home over 1m2f at Bath in May, but the expected improvement for a greater stamina test hasn't quite come off in two subsequent starts (at 1m3f and 1m4f); this sharp 1m2f could be going too far the other way and first-time headgear is an unknown.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner who gave it a determined shot when just losing out in a 1m Bath maiden in April but less convincing in two runs since, most recently back over 1m on handicap debut at Ffos Las; rail draw but misgivings over 1m2f on pedigree and likely needs weight off his back anyway.
